Cuyahoga

Swimming and boating in Lake Erie on hot summer day has always been one of my favorite pastimes.  Boating up the Cuyahoga River under the many bridges of Cleveland is a feast for my eyes.  The lines of the crisscrossing iron work, the industrial dirt, grime, rust textures, the shapes created by the juxtaposed  bridges and their mechanisms and amidst all those beautiful grays the pops of color from caution signs and graffiti send my mind into a whirl of images.  The bright blue sky and passing clouds flip the switch of highlight and deep shadow to create even more excitement .2014
